Murdock Webbing company history timeline

1936

Founded in January of 1936 by M.I.T. graduate Frederick Murdock just a few miles from Slater’s original mill, Murdock Webbing began with 10 employees and two looms weaving Venetian blind tape.

John DeAngelis was one of Murdock Webbing’s first employees after graduating from Rhode Island School of Design’s textile program in 1936.

1954

In 1954, Murdock Webbing was purchased by the DeAngelis family, who still currently presides over a thriving company with more than 150 associates in the 285,000 square foot facility.

1960

Weaving was performed on shuttle looms in the early stages of the business with the introduction of much faster needle looms to our manufacturing process in the early 1960’s.

1980

The majority of the non-textile assets were divested in the late 1980’s.

1987

One of the integral acquisitions that remain with us today was the 1987 purchase of Phoenix Trimming Co. based in Tarboro, NC. In honor of the first generation DeAngelis ownership, the plant was then named John DeAngelis.
